Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[Saint Domingo]

I actually don’t mind Tosun. I know that’s unpopular, but he’s a different profile than the other strikers we have. If we’re absolutely dominating a game at home and all the action is in the penalty box he’s arguably got better finishing instincts than any of our other strikers. Obviously away from home against any half decent team he’s completely useless as he has no pace. If we can sell him great, but if we have to keep him I’d rather see him play a part in the squad than just mope around.

Not sure Zaha is really a wide player. Spends a lot of time cutting in.

I don't think Carlo has any intention of playing with two traditional wingers who keep width.

One of each. Walcott is the only one who is a runner and well he’s not the greatest.

Face it - no great player is coming to Everton this year.

We've come on leaps and bounds during this window though and brought some real quality. Yes we can make do with what we have, but that position is now our only "weak" spot IMO. The make up of our best players now pretty much determines that, in possession, we'll likely set up with a narrow formation with the width being provided by the full backs. We don't have a right back that is able to carry out that role to a decent level. it's a pity Seamus isn't the player he was 4 years ago.

This season I think Liverpool, City and Chelsea are on another level, but that fourth spot is all to go for and we can be in that mix. Just need that final piece in the jigsaw to compete at that level.

A GK we cam trust and rely on not to make sill;y mix ups?

Agreed . We were after a centre half in Gabriel with months. Makes sense we still want one now

Thats it. Brands clearly has a valuation in mind for players and doesn't shift on it. Gabriel didn't meet that profile, Tomori seems an eerily similar fit.

I note Villa have seemingly moved on from what was being called almost a ‘done deal’ a week ago for Romero, and are trying for Martinez from Arsenal.

I wonder what’s happened there...........

*taps nose*

Aging like a 1979 Châteauneuf-du-Pape this one.

If James gets injured where does that leave our attack, yea, we need a goal scoring chance creating winger right away.

 

[Alan Whittle]

If we actually have enough money to get Zaha out of Palace, then we should be aiming to spend that money on someone better than Zaha. Not saying he's a bad player because he's not. But we could get far better for £60m.

Benteke’s good. Just saying.

Can we have your keeper instead?

Why do people keep making up the Zaha fees 40/60m, it won't cost either of those after the season hes just had.

I love the Echo piece on how Everton are now out of money...with no mention of the previous one they ran saying we couldnt do any signings until outgoings. If we make one more first team purchase, it should be the death knell of that rag.

 

[Alan Whittle]

No. Thought we’d kept him under the radar. He’s very decent. Not faultless, couple of clangers last season but generally very good. The back four have confidence in him and are noticeably jittery when Hennessy gets a game.

I kind of agree with this. In a game you dominate possession and are jut dumping it in their box but need that final touch hes a more mature finisher than DCL and Kean. I think Kean can soon surpass that though, his shot is very good its just the other aspects he needs to work on.

He'll cost at least 50m for me. If it was 70 they wanted last year then there is no way they will have halved the asking price.
